What Opportunities Will Be Forbidden to Your Children Because They Are White or Asian?
24 Feb 2023 ~~ By PHILIP CARL SALZMAN
If you are a parent, you grew up in a “benighted” period when people were assessed and given opportunities on the basis of merit consisting of achievements such as grades, test scores, prizes, etc. That archaic period is now over. People today are assessed according to their race, gender, sexual preferences, disabilities, and minority status. Children of the wrong race, gender, and sexual preference are now often excluded, not admitted to university, not funded, hired, appointed or otherwise benefitted.
In the past, minorities—blacks, indigenous natives, Hispanics, Asians, Jews—were discriminated against. Today, it is the majority that is discriminated against, as well as successful minorities. The “enemy” of social justice is alleged to be white people (60% in the U.S.; 70% in Canada), men (50% everywhere), those of the majority faith–Christians, and also minority Asians and Jews. We have come far from the Rev. Martin Luther King’s plea to judge people by their character rather than their skin color, and from the U.S. Civil Rights Act. Now that we have become “woke,” we see that justice requires the good new racism, sexism, bigotry, and discrimination.
For example, when the American Friends Service Committee did a search for a chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer, they were delighted with the application of Raquel Evita Saraswati. A member of the search committee said, “In my mind it was, ‘Great, a person of color, a queer person of color, who happens to be a Muslim, it’s a woman, all these things, and someone who seemed to get it.” She hit four scores on the intersectionism scale of victimhood, and so was an ideal candidate. (As it turned out, she was a fake, born as Rachel Elizabeth Seidel and white as the driven snow.)
~Snip~
Your white children no longer have an open future, but one restricted and limited because of their skin color. Your white son is persona non grata in education, business, and government bureaucracy. You can thank “social justice” “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
But there is a glimmer of hope. Although most of our institutions have been corrupted by “woke” ideology, a large majority of ordinary Americans do not accept woke “truths.” Seventy-nine percent of Americans reject the assertion that only whites can be racist, and seventy-two percent endorse the assertion that “It’s OK to be white.” If only the population made its views felt in our institutions, some sanity might return.
Commentary:
The false irrational justification of the new racism and sexism is “Equity,” the requirement that each racial, gender, sexuality, etc. category enjoy results in education, economy, business, art, and politics equal to every other category. If there is a lack of statistical equivalence between races or genders or sexualities in academic achievement, admission to programs, hiring, income, or offices, etc., this statistical disparity is alleged to be proof of discrimination, whether racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobist, Islamophobist, or ableist.
